I suffer from a lack of it this time of year.
I make big plans to ride my bike during the week, but then 5 o'clock rolls around and it's dark. It's cold. And curling up in front of the woodstove is just as (OK, more) appealing than suiting up and riding my local trails after nightfall.
Even tonight--a night warm enough our woodstove wasn't even lit--I had to force myself to drive away from the cozy house for a group ride in town. (Which, by the way, I thoroughly enjoyed.)
Clearly, I can't be the only one who lacks inspiration this time of year. I want to know what you do to stay motivated to ride during winter. Do you pile your gear by the front door? Leave your bike on your roof rack? Padlock your woodstove so exercise is the only way to stay warm??
Please tell me your secret--I predict lots of cold, dark days ahead and I'm not about to hibernate my bike.
